“He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own. ”

“The more the other party thinks he's having his way, the easier always to get your own.”

“Lean on principles, one day they'll end up giving way.”

“Principles are what people have instead of God.To be a Christian means among other things to be willing if necessary to sacrifice even your highest principles for God's or your neighbour's sake the way a Christian pacifist must be willing to pick up a baseball bat if there's no other way to stop a man from savagely beating a child.Jesus didn't forgive his executioners on principle but because in some unimaginable way he was able to love them.'Principle' is an even duller word than 'Religion'.”

“Nobody ever recommended a dictatorship aiming at ends other than those he himself approved. He who advocates dictatorship always advocates the unrestricted rule of his own will”

“The wise man does not lay up his own treasures.The more he gives to others,the more he has for his own.”
